Hebrews 12:1-2
"...let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith..."

Our weekend

WOW! What an encouraging weekend! Our adoption agency is located in another state but they gifted us by sending the country program director here to Ames on Sunday. They don't normally do this but since there are five families from this area (fyi--specifically all in our church) adopting from the agency, they thought it would be nice to meet all of us. Exciting!

We all enjoyed lunch together and then had a very informal question and answer time. It was so wonderful to sit and listen to the director share her own travel experiences to the country as well as how families, whose adoptions are now finalized, are doing and how the children are adjusting. We were able to sit around for a couple of hours and ask whatever we wanted to. I just can't explain how grateful we were for this time.

Later that evening, we had our second home study visit which required Devin and Jenna to be interviewed. Our home study provider will now work to complete his report and we will have one more thing off our check list!
